Well, my floor tom is a 1958 Ludwig, and I have a coated pinstripe on the top and an ambassador on the bottom. I have one song where I play it really hard and long, think powow drumming, but with both hands and a lot of rimshots and flams and stuff. After a while, the drum wrinkles in one side, but I have noticed it being the same side each time. I was wondering why this is, is the the head, the shell, or the hoop? Or just the heavy playing?
The bearing edges on the drum are really fat, not really a sharp cut at all. Could this be the issue?
